Question

With reference to the Delimitation Commission, consider the following statements:
1. The orders of the Delimitation Commission cannot be challenged in a Court of Law.
2. When the orders of the Delimitation Commission are laid before the Lok Sabha or State Legislative Assembly, they cannot effect any modifications in the orders.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

Accepted Answer

Both statements regarding the Delimitation Commission are correct.

Statement 1: The orders of the Delimitation Commission have the force of law and cannot be challenged in any court of law. This is explicitly provided to prevent delays in the electoral process and maintain the finality of the delimitation process.

Statement 2: When the orders of the Delimitation Commission are laid before the Lok Sabha or the concerned State Legislative Assembly, they cannot effect any modifications to the orders. The Parliament or State Legislature can only discuss them but cannot make any changes. This ensures the independence and impartiality of the Commission's work.

Since both statements are accurate, option C is the correct answer.
